Protests against his eligibility had been filed by
nearly every local assembly in the State, and the

For nearly four long hours the men who had
yashered from California to Maine, and Canada

designated, should be admitted or excluded.
There were times whom the debate waxed warm,
and when the gayel of the chairman and the
voices Of the orators penetrated even the thick
walls of Harmonic Hall. Buchanan proved to
have plenty of friends, but his opponents were
apparently the stronger, both in numbers and
in oratory and knowledge of law. 1t was in the
hottest part of the debate that suspicious noise
behind the stage curtain attracted the attention
Of a delegate. Constituting himself committee

a moment later emerged with the
collar of q dudish- looking young fellow in his
wight grasp. Pale and milling, the intruder.

as the ex. editor of a labor sheet in that city,
which had systematically villi6ed the order In

particular. He was expelled from the building
without further delay, and the debate was re-
sumed. IL might have lasted till midnight had

BLOODY Array Between whites aud Ne.
groes on Cat Island.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. Ia reign Of tor
ror prevails in Cat Island, in Crittenden
County, Ark, some twenty-five miles be-
low Memphis, on the Mississippi river.
Martin Thomas and Joe Hamlett two res
ldents Of that neighborhood, arrived In
Memphis this evening and brought intelli.
gence Of an ARRAY which occurred this
morning between whites and negroes,
which resulted in the killing Of
two negroes and the wounding Of scv.
eral others. The origin of the ARRAY
grew out Of the arrest Of the negroes, who,
1t Is alleged, insulted some white women
yesterday. They were to be tried this
morning before negro justice Of tho
peace. Their act had aroused the indig-
nation of the whites and about dozen
each of both races met this afternoon a;
the preliminary investigation by the col.
ored magistrate. As to who started the
row nothing can be learned, but in the
shooting that followed both the negroes
under arrest were killed and two or three
others OF their friends wounded. The
negroes fed, but after arming themselves
prepared TO return to the scene of the con.
f1ict. They fired ut Thomas and Hamlett,
who were in skiff, and when last seen
they were going in the direction of where
their companions had been killed. The ne
groes on Cat Island outnumber the whites
ten to one, and serious trouble is antici-
pated. 1t is impossible to gather further
details tonight.
